Hi,Dick.
The real reason isn't it.
The key is XIM.If you close your XIM,it will be ok.
The same problem will be found in Mentor Precision, and synplify7.6. Because all those are using MWM tech to port their gui from windows system to *nix system.
Here is a simple solution:
1: get your locale infomation
$> locale
LANG=xxxxxxxxxx (eg. zh_CN.GB18030)
2:find in its execute script file: (eg. /usr/synplify/bin/config/execute )
add
if [ "/bin/locale | grep -q 'LANG=zh_CN.GB18030'" ]; then
LANG=C; export LANG;
MWNEVER_USE_INPUT_METHOD=true;
export MWNEVER_USE_INPUT_METHOD;
fi
That's all. This method can work well in RHEL3,RH9,FC1.......
